Streaming channels that are free to watch and funded entirely by advertising. Pluto TV, Tubi, Peacock's free tier. The content is organized into linear-style channels rather than on-demand libraries. Audiences watch what's on, when it's on. For advertisers, FAST offers CPMs lower than premium SVOD and audiences that skew toward viewers who have actively chosen ad-supported over paid. The reach is real. Measure it separately from your on-demand CTV.
